it looks like the "screen off" broadcast is not being received by NoLED which it relies on to trigger both of these notification types.

Try to turn the screen off manually and see what happens. Otherwise, reinstall the app just in case some intents didn't get registered correctly on your device.

If you do have any other apps that are able to limit what apps are able to access, then you might want to uninstall them as well.

Bug on Samsung Note

Hi.. I have installed this on my unlocked Samsung Note. I did observe a behavior I think is a bug. I have notification turned on to show battery percentage while charging. When I connect my charger while the phone screen is locked (blank screen on phone), it shows me the percentage of battery remaining and updates it at the interval I set. But when I plug in the charger when the screen is unlocked (say, I am on my home page), the screen gets locked automatically after 30 seconds, but my battery percentage notification is not shown.

Do I need to turn on any settings for this to work?

Thanks

Rama.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
the charging numbers should come up after the screen turns off by exactly 10 seconds. that's what happens on my Note. the only exception is the immediate case that you mentioned (when you just plugged the device in).

MagicLocker + ICS + NoLed

Hi,

I was using NoLED with Magiclocker on my SGS2 (Android 2.3.5) and it worked perfect. Then I have updated my system to ICS (4.0.3 LPS) and now I have a problem. For example when I recieve SMS, NoLED shows notification, then I push Home button and I see Magiclocker lockscreen. From lockscreen I go staright forward to Message app (stock Android app) to read SMS with button on Magiclocker theme. I reply to SMS and click Home button to return to my homescreen but instead of it I see NoLED screen with notification. I must touch back or home button to get away of this screen. I was changeing dismiss buttons in NoLED options but it didn't solve my problem. The same sitiuation is with other notifications and with stock lockscreen application.

Can anybody help me with this strange NoLED behaviour? There was nothing similar on Android 2.3.5 - there it worked very good.

Thanks in advance for help.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
push the back button or enable "double tapping" from the misc submenu and try using that instead of the home key when you first encounter the noled notification screen.
[Android Apps and Games] canadianroots13:
I've noticed as of yesterday after an uninstall and reinstall of the program that it works for about 12 hours and then stops working again.

Here is a nice tutorial on how to send logcats for everyone having problems.:cool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223369

NoLED

It is a solution. I checked and it worked well, but maybe it is possible to "fix" NoLED app to work with home button as good as with back button. It would be great becouse for me is more natural to put home button then back button when I get new notification.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
For those of you with issues. I'm attaching v5.2 (debug version) so it should spit out a whole bunch of stuff to your logcat. After replicating the issue, download any logcat app from the Market. Capture the logcat and attach a file here for me to look at.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Hey mad. Long time no post. How you doing?

Lately, I've noticed that NoLED isn't working properly in the past few days. The notifications come and go as it pleases. Sometimes when I get messsages, NoLED will work. Other times, it won't work. Reinstalled didn't work. Just now, the problem is happening again so upon checking the NoLED settings, it turns out Proximity Sensor is disabled, and I can't choose whether to enable or to disable it. The button is basically greyed out. Is there something wrong with the latest update to NoLED?

This problem occurs with having Blink on and off. right now, I turned off Blink and Proximity Sensor isn't greyed out anymore. Let's see how long this lasts...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, it seems some users are indeed not getting any consistent results ever since i've switched the targetsdkversion to ICS. So 5.1.4 works perfectly but 5.1.5 and 5.2 are having these issues specially with the blink feature.

Everything is nice and dandy on my Note (both Gingerbread and ICS roms) so I'll need logs to determine the cause. I haven't given up on this new ICS target yet; i think I can still iron out the little bugs here and there before giving up completely and going back to the Eclair target.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Well even with Blink off, it still does this. I never started using Blink until now too. Hope it helps?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
unfortunately it doesn't help me. can you try sideloading the apk file I attached a few posts earlier and as soon as noled fails, grab a logcat and sent it to me. you can use an app like aLogCat to do that.

Just attach the resulting file here once you're done.
[Android Apps and Games] mr.rubbish:
ok, i've uninstalled & reinstalled and reset the data/not restored. I'll keep an eye on it and we'll see how it goes.

I've also spotted that the option to temporarily turn off the screen with the proximity sensor is greyed out. is that a feature that will be removed? or will it be re-enabled in a future release?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
that's just because it conflicts with blink. Disable blink and it'll get accessible again.

I may have found the root cause of the problem. I'll release a version for you guys to test out in a bit.

Edit: v5.2.1b is out in the OP. Please give it a try and let me know if it fixes these issues you guys have been having.
[Android Apps and Games] Hoho83:
Great app, but missing one option. After 10 seconds of notification the screen lights automatically on. I don't want that. How can I disable that?
[Android Apps and Games] canadianroots13:
I installed this new version and put log this on my phone. I'll let you know if I have any problems!

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Battery saving features > notification timeout > no timeout
[Android Apps and Games] Hoho83:
Thank you for your answer. But the notification will not disappear anymore and continue to infinity. It should stop after 10 seconds without showing the lockscreen. Is that possible?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
oh, that's not possible.

when NoLED terminates automatically, it behaves as if you clicked on the back key. It'll show the lock screen for a little while and then the screen will automatically shut down in a few more seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] Hoho83:
That's pity, but thank you anyway:D.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
anybody that downloaded v5.2.1b can tell us if the problems are gone?
[Android Apps and Games] canadianroots13:
After using it for a full day it appears as though 5.2.1b has rectified the problems I had been having with missing notifications!
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
So does it mean that it will blink if I have my phone in my pocket?

Will try it now. Sorry bout never getting around to testing the one that has logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] mr.rubbish:
I have installed it and so am waiting for notifications to come up throughout the day to see if it makes a difference.

I have also donated some money through the app so that way i don't feel guilty about harrassing you with these problems! :p
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thanks for the input. I think I've nailed it.

Yes. It's either Blink or Proximity sensor. It's always been like that. I personally use Proximity Sensor and forget blink all together. Thing is, the proximity sensor implementation depends on the screen state.

If it turns off, proximity sensor turns off as well. The only exception is when you're intentionally switching the screen off using the proximity sensor. Here, the proximity sensor stays on as is the case with NoLED's proximity sensor feature and when you're on a phone call and have the phone near by your face.

Thanks :)

Battery

Hi Guys, i have a Prob with the Batterylife,it´s too short on my Galaxy Note. I uninstall NoLed and all is good. Do you have also heared it from anyone else? The Problem is since the last Update to ICS, on GB no Problems or high Energy consumption. Thx from Germany

[Android Apps and Games] weezill:
I'm getting notifications consistently now, however there is one thing. If I have the screen on (reading email for example) and I get a notification, the NoLED screen comes on. I have to hit the back button on my galaxy S to get back to my email. It's happened a few times now, so it's consistent.

Is this by design, or is there a config option? I'm not sure if the proximity sensor options would solve this.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Certainly not by design. It also doesn't happen on my device or emulator.

What phone are you using?

So, the notifications are coming up even though you just hit the back button to dismiss them? When they come back up, the screen is on and you're using the device?
[Android Apps and Games] weezill:
Galaxy S i9000, with Slimrom ICS 3.6 and Semaphore 1.2.0s kernel.

So while I'm using my phone, if I get an SMS for example, the NoLED screen will display with the floating SMS icon.

My expectation is that if the screen is on, NoLED shouldn't do anything because I can see if something new comes in.

I just updated to 5.2.2 in the market. I can see if it happens again.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
The market's 5.2.2 won't help you I'm afraid because it's identical to the beta I released a couple of days ago.

your device is not conforming to the android API specs. Namely, it is not calling "onDestroy()" where it should. I think the ROM is the suspect here.

If you want to keep your rom, your best option might be to roll back to an earlier version. One that targets Android eclair because that worked fine for you. You can always downgrade by sideloading the apks on the website. v5.1.4 was the last version that didn't target android ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
The 5.21b didn't help as much as I expected. Still missing some notifications :(
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm wondering, are you also using ICS on the galaxy S (or one of its NA variants)?
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Ya I'm using ICS. See sig for configuration details.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
the problem is definitely related to these ICS roms. see my reply to weezill.

I'll need sometime to figure a solution for that particular problem. For now, you can revert back to v5.1.4. Wish I had a galaxy s around that I can test with.

Do you want me to get the logcat version and see if I can get a logcat for you?
[Android Apps and Games] sagnam:
Stock Samsung Captivate Glide running 5.2.2.

Notifications showing up without a problem, but it appears that anytime the screen wakes up notifications are cleared, no matter if it's because of pressing the power button or automatically.

For example, with a Google Talk notification bouncing around (I have it set to blink) if I miss a call and even if I do not touch the phone then when the screen sleeps again the Talk notification is gone and a missed call notification is shown. If there is a voicemail after, then the screen wakes for just a moment and the missed call notification is gone and the voicemail notification appears. The voicemail notification moves, but doesn't blink.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
did this problem occur with previous versions of NoLED? It seems like you have a task killer/manager that is terminating NoLED every time it goes into the background temporarily.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Can you reproduce the error or does it seem like it's happening at random?

if you can reproduce it, let me know how to. I might be able to get a hand on an I9000 to play with.
[Android Apps and Games] sagnam:
First version I've tried. It's a work phone that has Lotus Notes Traveler, which is fairly intrusive.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Try to load an earlier version if you can sideload APK files and see if the problem is gone? There has been some drastic changes over the last two versions in the way Android is calling NoLED's APIs. So to rule this out, you should try sideloading v5.1.4 from the website. Let me know if the problem is gone.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Nope can't reproduce it. It's just a random thing. If I do figure out a way to reproduce it, I'll let you know.
[Android Apps and Games] sagnam:
Tried 5.1.4 and the same thing happened. I then tried disabling blink and the notifications stayed even after the screen wakes. I then ran into another issue. I have it set to dismiss notifications on double tap. With notifications showing, I pressed the power button and the screen went black. No button presses or screen tapping would wake the phone up. I called my phone and it woke up to show the incoming call and after hanging up the notification screen reappeared. I double tapped the notification screen and was able to get to my lock screen.

I then tried to update back to 5.2.2 to see if the same was true with blinking disabled. After setting a notification I accidentally pressed the power button again and the screen went black again. Unlike last time, calling my phone does not wake the screen and no notifications are show. Basically, my phone is completely locked.

I'm going to pull the battery and try the no blink test again being careful of the power button.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
If you're not using Blink, do not use the power button (at all). It'll only switch your screen off and no touch drivers will be enabled at that time. The double tapping is to dismiss currently visible icons only.
[Android Apps and Games] sagnam:
It wasn't on purpose. I've had a Vibrant as my personal phone for 2 years and pressing the power button to show the lock screen is ingrained. That's going to be a tough habit to break.

After rebooting I can confirm that 5.2.2 behaves the same. With blink disabled the notifications remain even after the screen wakes itself. With blink on existing notifications are cleared.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I think what I suspected is true in your case. Some app is definitely terminating NoLED when the screen turns off or when it goes temporarily in the background.

Go to Miscellaneous > and check the first option at the top. See if it helps at all.

Otherwise, I can't really think of any better workaround :(
[Android Apps and Games] sagnam:
I'll keep digging around and see what Traveller actually does. There's really nothing else installed on the phone at this point.

I tried that option last night and didn't see anything different.

Thanks for your help anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
just released v6.0.0a. It basically takes NoLED to the next level. More information on the 2nd post.

I'll appreciate any feedback I can get :)
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
OMG that new touch the icon to launch the app feature is awesome! Working nicely on my Skyrocket. Very nice addition.

My only item relates to text messages (here we go. lol). I use Go SMS for my text messages. The icon that comes up for text messages is the contact's picture. If I press on the icon, I am taken to my phones stock sms app. If I enable GoSMS and disable the text message icon I get a generic Go SMS icon (and not the contact picture). Ideally I'd get the picture contact and it would take me to my GoSMS app.

I'm prepared to live with this though if you don't see anyway around it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
hey thanks for the feedback.

I can definitely customize what app launches when you click on a contact. I'd actually love to implement that.

I just think the current NoLED menu is over complicated. I need to redesign the layout so that I can implement a UI for these finer settings.

Otherwise, everything else seems to be working fine? is the app launching responsive enough?

I just found a bug yesterday myself: the dismiss charging indicator at 100% isn't working :rolleyes: gotta rework these features back in.
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
There is like a two second hesitation before the app launches doesn't bother me.

For the second time today, "Oh, no, not again!", "Another update so soon!." Lol, just kidding, I guess I'll be changing both my ROM and NoLed!:D
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Try v6.0.1a (OP). I've added another "trick" to it so hopefully this time it'll stick.

Obviously that little "trick" is fixing something that I'm only suspecting is the root cause. Without logs or a method to reproduce this issue, I'm just shooting in the dark so no guarantees there. Let me know if it seems to be solved!
[Android Apps and Games] Turpeau:
is there gonna be an update?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
for v5? yea, if the trick works I'll release a play store update with v5.

Hi! I'm using NoLed on my Galaxy S II with CM9.

I have a little problem: when I receive a sms or an email, icon appears on screen, but physical buttons light is on. I checked out noled settings and the options "show physical buttons" in Back light is off..

Why? :confused: How can I turn off this buttons light?

All I can say is, "Wow!." I missed the box to enable launching apps so I can't comment on that right now, but I finally was able to get my Czneo Icons back! I love the ability to directly download and install them! Totally awesome!!!:D
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
It's a problem with the ROM. I don't know if teamhacksung implemented the ability to disable the backlights from the settings menu. If so, this might be your only way of fixing it on CM9.

The option in NoLED attempts to simulate a "click" on these buttons to try and trigger the default timeout functionality. It doesn't work with most devices so don't rely on it so much. Your way of fixing it is through the ROM's settings.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

I don't have a logcat yet, but I'd like to report some odd behavior. I ticked the option to have apps open on a screen longpress. Unfortunately, I did not pay attention today as I was very busy until about 3 pm. Then I noticed that the feature was still not working. So I went back into the menu, and tested it. It worked fine for every icon I longpressed until I had a force close and a had to restart noled. The test would not work for anything after that, and when I exited out of the app, a reboot of the phone occured. Not having time to mess around with it, I left things alone. Then later I noticed that my phone was cycling through a screen on (displaying lockscreen) for about five seconds, followed by 25 seconds off, then on five again, etc... I have the "Time and Weather always displayed" chosen in the NoLed menu, so when I close the screen with the power button, it is supposed to come on again for a second to the lockscreen then display those two things, but they never get displayed, the screen just goes off as I described, then comes on again. There was an Email notification in the taskbar that I had not dismissed, so I dismissed it and the cycle changed to five seconds on, then about six seconds off for two to three cycles, then sometimes the cycle of was 5 seconds on and 11 seconds off.

I just tested again, and it doesn't work from the screen, but within the app, it is working as designed. Incidentally, when I opened Noled the second time to test, I got a dialog box to send in the force close report which stupidly I dismissed. I intend to flash over to the next version of my ROM, but will delay until I take a logcat. It's not that I don't know how, it's that I need to be focused on what I'm doing.

I hope I did this correctly. Here is the log. http://pastebin.com/vMfRGCCh

EDIT: Now that I've taken this log, I will probably flash over to a newer version on my ROM as I mentioned. However, I will not be restoring user data for NoLed. I have a hunch that the settings that I've carried since Froyo might cause slight problems? I'll find out.
[Android Apps and Games] goteks21:
i'm on stock rom on my Gnote and the light on the capacitive bouton stay open whatever if i check or not the option. also i dont get any notification
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
very very strange indeed ! I really have no way to explain what is happening.

The settings carried over from Froyo shouldn't affect NoLED. After all, it's the same app and the same settings for every iteration of Android from Eclair to ICS. The logcat unfortunately doesn't have any debug information because it was taken after the crash event and is taken with a non-debug version of NoLED. The best thing you can do is try to replicate the force close and then remember to send the crash report to me. That will have all the necessary information that I need.

Beautiful.. This little "hack" should work as long as people on the I9000 use a lock screen. Let me know if you do observe any irregular NoLED behavior still.

Go to Android Settings > Display and turn off the touch key lights.

It just happened again just before I opened this thread in fact. So I sent it, louis.toval to ali. Anywho, i was testing it in the menu again since it wouldn't work on the actual screen. That is where the Force Close occured, just like the last time. It does as explained in the second post only when testing in my case. Forgot to compliment you on the tutorial. Excellent!:D

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Got it ! perfect log and i was able to fix it. thanks.

Go to Misc > Dismiss buttons (keys) and check Home.

thank you :D

That option exists in the Galaxy Note (and GSII I believe) so I'm not sure what could be done in your case. Since the update to ICS, your keys basically never go off during usage right? If that's the case then I'm afraid there isn't much I can do to fix it because the issue is in the firmware itself.
